The new owners, led by Todd Boehly, had just spent over £1 billion signing new players, mostly under the age of 25.</p> <p>Throughout Pochettino's first season at Chelsea (which is the ongoing 2023-2024 season), the 52-year-old Argentine tactician has not been able to make the team win consistently. They are currently in the 10th spot with 43 points in 29 games.</p> <p>After Chelsea's massive 4-3 win over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Thursday, April 4, Pochettino noted that he was aware that it would be a <em>"massive challenge"</em> coaching The Blues.</p> <p><em>“I played with my reputation to come to Chelsea also, in a project that is to build a team with young, talented players with the potential to become top players",</em> Pochettino told a press conference.</p> <p><em>“We knew that was a massive challenge but I want to give the team the tools to win games, believe in ourselves, and build a very good relationship”.</em></p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/04/05/i-played-with-my-reputation-to-come-to-chelsea-mauricio-pochettino/">I Played With My Reputation To Come To Chelsea – Mauricio Pochettino</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.naijanews.com">Naija News</a>.</p>
